so the time has come for me to replace my test kits as they have dried up and or expired. has anyone got anyone got any recommendations? i may actually get round to posting something pertinent on here soon. John
While I still use Salifert for some tests like Ca and Mg, for Alk I use Elos (or Tropic Marin), for Phosphate Salifert as well (but I have Elos, D&D, and others), for Ammonia/Nitrite/Nitrate I use API. Basically I'm not really brand loyal.
Hey Marc i've been looking into the redsea kits as they looked easy to use but i've been hearing people having issues with the mg kit. price wise it will actually be cheaper to get the salifert kh ca mg then it is to get the complete redsea kit. still got some time to think about it so will have a look at online shops as i don't have a very LFS (all about an hours drive away). all the best John
I did a Red Sea product review here on RA so you can read it over. I also had Mg test issues.
sweet, will look into it. thanks very much john quick edit, checked your review. the kh and ca look good but as i'm comfortable with the salifert kit and its going to work out cheaper to get the salifert meaning more money for frags thanks again John
